NOI Gold Coach Wang_Xiaoguang taught me last weekend.
The $$$\text{Miller Rabin}$$$ algorithm is a randomization algorithm used to test whether an integer is a prime. It is based on Fermat's small theorem and quadratic detection theorem, and determines whether an integer may be a prime number through multiple random tests. The basic idea of the algorithm is to perform a series of randomness proofs, and if an integer passes these tests, it is likely to be a prime number. If an integer fails any of these tests, then it is definitely not a prime number.
The following are the basic steps of the $$$\text {Miller Rabin} $$$ algorithm: 1. Select the integer $$$n$$$ to be tested: First, select an integer $$$n$$$ greater than $$$1$$$ to determine if it is a prime number.
Decomposing $$$n-1$$$ into $$$2^t\times u$$$: Calculate the prime factorization of $$$n-1$$$, where $$$u$$$ is an odd number and $$$t$$$ is a non negative integer, representing the number of factors $$$2$$$.
Select Random Evidence Number $$$a$$$: Randomly select an integer $$$a$$$ from the interval $$$[2,n-2]$$$.
Calculate $$$v=a^u \mod n$$$: Calculate the modulus of $$$n$$$ to the power of $$$u$$$ of $$$a$$$, and obtain $$$v$$$.
Check if $$$v$$$ is equal to $$$1$$$:
If $$$v=1$$$, then continue with the next round of testing and choose a new random evidence number of $$$a$$$.
If $$$v$$$ is not equal to $$$1$$$, go to the next step.
- Repeat square detection $t $times:
Perform the $$$t$$$ sub square operation on $$$v(v=v ^ 2\mod n)$$$ while checking if $$$v$$$ is equal to $$$n-1$$$.
If $$$v=n-1$$$, continue with the next round of testing and select a new random evidence number of $$$a$$$.
If $$$v$$$ is not equal to $$$n-1$$$, continue the square operation and check up to a maximum of $$$t-1$$$ times.
- Check the final result:
If $$$v$$$ is still not equal to $$$n-1$$$ after $$$t$$$ squared detection, then $$$n$$$ is considered not a prime number and can be determined to be a composite number.
If $$$v$$$ equals $$$n-1$$$ after $$$t$$$ tests, then $$$n$$$ may be a prime number and continue with the next round of testing.
- Repeat multiple tests: Repeat the above steps and select different random evidence numbers $$$a$$$ for testing. Usually, repeated testing multiple times can improve the accuracy of the algorithm.
Summary: The reliability of the $$$\text{Miller Rabin}$$$ algorithm depends on the selection of iteration times and random evidence numbers. Usually, conducting multiple tests (such as $$$15$$$ or more) and selecting a random number of evidence can make the algorithm highly reliable in practice, but it is still a random algorithm. Therefore, although it can quickly exclude most composite numbers, it cannot provide absolute proof.
Code:
import random
def millerRabin(n):
if n<3 or n%2==0:
return n==2
u,t=n-1,0
while u%2==0:
u=u//2
t=t+1
test_time=8
for i in range(test_time):
a=random.randint(2,n-1)
v=pow(a,u,n)
if v==1:
continue
s=0
while s<t:
if v==n-1:
break
v=v*v%n
s=s+1
if s==t:
return False
return True
t=int(input())
for i in range(t):
x=int(input())
y=millerRabin(x)
if y==True:
print("YES")
if y==False:
print("NO")
Learned a new algorithm. The blog is written in Codeforces. The Chinese version can be moved to https://www.luogu.com.cn/blog/Cute-Lyrically/zuotijihua-miller-rabin-suan-fa.
For upto 64 bits integers it is actually sufficient to check with only the first 12 prime numbers as evidence numbers. There is a very good blog at cp-algorithms for this, primality tests.
